[Avodah] Woman reading a ketuba

[T613K at aol.com]

Well as you know, I do not look kindly on ancient minhagim that are less  
than thirty years old.   Get back to me when women have been reading  ketubot at 
weddings for a hundred years or me, and I'll rethink it.  Right  now, I 
totally do not believe that this is an "eilu ve'eilu" issue or a matter  of 
different minhagim in different communities, and I do not believe that any  bride 
would "honor" a woman with the reading of the ketuba without a  self-conscious 
awareness that she is doing something that is pushing the  envelope.
